The problem, as Blizzard identifies, is that it was a little too versatile, and low-cost spells like various Rogue cards or the Paladin's Librams made it effective at chipping down health and taking over the entire story of a game. As the name implies, it flings pens for 1 damage, shouting 'Hey, Loser!' as it enters play, and then gets bounced back into your hand as a Spellburst effect with an innocent-sounding 'Wasn't me!' With two Pen Flingers in your opponent's hand, you would often hear 'Hey, Loser! Hey, Loser! Wasn't me! Wasn't me!' several times in a single turn. The card was part of the Scholomance Academy set, and it's modeled after the worst kid in your high school class. The Pen Flinger card is likely to get the most attention for its sheer trolling. The 20.0.2 patch also makes a big change to major Mage and Paladin cards, and makes the new expansion's Outpost cards a little less hearty. Blizzard recently launched Hearthstone's Forged in the Barrens expansion, and the first balance patch of the new season will take aim at the game's most annoying card, Pen Flinger.
